Akakor facts for kids
Akakor is a secret underground city from a famous book. It is described as being hidden somewhere between Brazil and Peru. This mysterious city is not real; it is a fictional place.
The Story of Akakor
The idea of Akakor comes from a book called The Chronicle of Akakor. A German journalist named Karl Brugger wrote this book in 1976. He said he learned about Akakor from a man named Tatunca Nara. Tatunca Nara was a Brazilian Indian.
Who Built Akakor?
According to Tatunca Nara's story, Akakor was built a very long time ago. He claimed that aliens from another planet came to Earth. These aliens supposedly built Akakor and two other similar cities, Akanis and Akahim. The story suggests these aliens had special knowledge and technology.
The Truth About Akakor
Later, another person, Rüdiger Nehberg, investigated the story of Akakor. He discovered something surprising about Tatunca Nara. It turned out that Tatunca Nara was not a Brazilian Indian at all. His real name was Günther Hauck, and he was from Germany. This discovery showed that the story of Akakor was not true. It was a hoax, meaning a trick or a made-up story.
Akakor in Movies
Even though Akakor is a fictional place, parts of its story became famous. Some ideas from The Chronicle of Akakor were used in a popular movie. This movie was Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. It shows how fictional stories can inspire new adventures in films.
